Samkin went like the wind, but he knew he could not keep up this pace for any lenght of time. Desperate, he sighted a stream and, without a second thought, jumped in and let the current take him away.
The water was dark and murky, the current rushing by his ears. Cold, wet, ever-moving. The water seemed to have a life of it's own, swirilng sometimes, still others, and other rushing recklessly downhill.
When he finally got out of the stream, Samkin found himself by another vermin encampment. Again he hurtled into the stream, arrows whizzing in after him.
When he got out later on, it was night. He made a camp in the hollow of an oak and slept.
Samkin woke at dawn. He saw a large branch floating on the stream, so in he went aain. He only got out when the he saw rapids in the stream approaching rapidly. Then he followed it toward a place where it joined the River Moss. There he raced through the treetops along the river.

Samkin nearly fell in awe out of the elm he was perched in when he sighted the sea.
